Mitsubishi hiking prices on new US vehicles in response to Trump tariffs
Mitsubishi Motors said on Tuesday it was hiking prices of US vehicles by 2.1% on average, the latest automaker to pass along cost increases to consumers as their expenses rise from the Trump administration's tariffs. President Trump in April imposed 25% tariffs on car imports from Japan and nearly all other countries, prompting Mitsubishi to suspend deliveries from ports to US dealers. The Japanese automobile manufacturer said it resumed those deliveries last week. The 2.1% average sales weighted price hike effective Wednesday 'is a direct result of our regular and ongoing review of pricing in order to ensure we are in-line with segment expectations,' Mitsubishi said. The 2.1% hike is to take effect on Wednesday. filmbildfabrik – Mitsubishi's U.S. sales in the first three months of 2025 were up 11% after sales in 2024 were 110,000, up 26% and the brand's best U.S. sales performance since 2019. The company told dealers that the price hikes on suggested retail prices would not impact vehicles in showrooms currently. The company also said it was making 'significant global investments in new vehicles and new technologies.' It cited 'updates to the new 2025 Outlander, recent announcements about a new battery EV coming to the U.S. and the study of joint-development with Nissan of a new vehicle to be built in the U.S. in the coming years.' Trump said last week that he may again soon hike auto tariffs. Mitsubishi also said it was making 'significant global investments in new vehicles and new technologies,' including 'updates to the new 2025 Outlander,' shown above. Last month, Subaru of America hiked prices on several models between $750 and $2,055 depending on the model and trim, in response to 'current market conditions.' Ford Motor in May raised prices on three models produced in Mexico by as much as $2,000, becoming one of the first major automakers to respond to Trump's tariffs

First Drive: 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander Offers Affordable Luxury
Mitsubishi's all-new 2025 Outlander is sure to appeal to outdoor enthusiasts who don't want to compromise on space, comfort, or capability. I recently had the opportunity to test their flagship SUV in beautiful Los Angeles, across a wide variety of city driving, open highways, and it wouldn't be a California test without taking the Outlander up and down a few winding canyon roads. There is a reason the Outlander is one of Mitsubishi's top-selling vehicles in the United States—it's an affordable three-row SUV that checks all the boxes for adventurers or families who like to hit the open road. This latest model elevates the driving experience with premium features that make it feel more upscale than its price tag suggests. From its refined styling to its comfortable ride, the 2025 Outlander is not a boring SUV to drive—it's actually quite exciting to be behind the wheel of. I did not get the chance to drive some of the lower-end trims but having been in the Platinum edition, it certainly had a premium interior featuring quilted leather upholstery, a soft-touch dashboard, and overall minimalist, yet intuitively placed controls. The design is a nice blend of modern tech and understated accents making your experience at the wheel feel less busy on the eyes. Another upgrade worth mentioning is the digital rearview mirror, which seamlessly integrates with the interior's classy feel. The 12.3-inch digital display delivered a wealth of information without being overly complicated. I cannot forget to mention that this SUV comes with a collapsible third row, which deploys effortlessly to add additional seating when needed. While the third row isn't the most spacious, it's still a great option for growing families needing an extra seat or Outlander's updated exterior is not revolutionary compared to previous model, but it does incorporate a handful of refinements that make it more distinctive, especially in the higher-end trim. The high-positioned daytime running lamps and the smoothed front upper grille give it a premium look without taking away from its ruggedness. The available 18- or 20-inch wheels and the tasteful flaring along each side of the vehicle also add to its overall road presence without being obnoxious. In my opinion, Mitsubishi did a great job of blending an aggressive look without being overly flashy. On this first drive, I tested out Mitsubishi's Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC), which delivered a responsive and confident performance, particularly on those tight canyon turns. With five drive modes—Eco, Normal, Tarmac, Snow, Mud/Gravel, it's clear Mitsubishi really wanted to answer drivers' needs in making a smoother and more adaptable driving experience. While the 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine produces a modest 181 horsepower, it handled steep inclines with ease. It doesn't quite have that sporty driving feel you might find in other performance-based SUVs but I don't think that's what Mitsubishi was trying to achieve with the Outlander. Instead they've prioritized a smooth, comfortable drive and in that regard, the 2025 Outlander certainly achieved its goal. One of the most exciting upgrades for the 2025 Outlander is the debut of Yamaha's first ever in-car sound system integration available in a North American vehicle. Available in two levels—Premium and Ultimate—however all trim levels benefit from Yamaha's wealth of experience in creating unique sound, not just the premium trims. Both configurations are able to produce punchy bass with clear mids and highs. Mitsubishi went the extra mile by not only prioritizing the sound engineering but they also incorporated additional insulating materials to dampen any noise coming from outside the vehicle. This noise mitigation was noticeably effective even without sound as it drew out the loud bustling boulevard sounds of Los Angeles. Aesthetically, the speakers feature a beautiful metal grille with traditional Japanese patterns, further reinforcing the Outlander's refined yet functional design. The 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander is an affordable, adventure-ready three-row SUV that delivers a smooth and dependable ride. The addition of Yamaha's premium audio system—which might be overlooked by some—is certainly a wonderful addition to this year's model if you truly savor your music listening experience. With four trim levels, each offering unique features, the Outlander ensures that drivers can find the right combination of features to match their budget. Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast, a family road-tripper, or simply someone who appreciates a well-rounded SUV, the new Outlander definitely deserves a test drive.

(MMNA) today announced starting pricing for the new 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander, the brand's flagship SUV. Updated styling and revised engineering highlight the mid-cycle refresh on the award-winning Outlander, with the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) starting at $29,6451 for a front-wheel-drive ES model, continued proof of Mitsubishi Motors' legendary value story. More information on the vehicle can be seen at and full pricing will be announced on February 24, 2025. Since winning multiple industry awards and the hearts of customers alike, Outlander moves into 2025 with updates to drivability, interior and exterior styling and features, and an industry-leading in-car entertainment system developed by the audio experts at Yamaha2. Mitsubishi Motors engineers targeted the areas in which Outlander already excelled – its award-winning interior and acclaimed handling – to raise the vehicle's profile even further. "The new 2025 Outlander is bold, powerful, strong, and stands out on the road, all while delivering the value that customers expect from Mitsubishi Motors," said Mark Chaffin, MMNA president and CEO. "Since the launch of this generation of Outlander in 2021, the vehicle has been key to Mitsubishi Motors' successes here in the U.S. and around the world. When we add that to Mitsubishi Motors' industry-leading warranty coverage, two years of included limited maintenance4, and our award-winning dealer-partner network, Outlander is more than just a great value, it's a great vehicle." Starting with the interior, upgraded and redesigned materials bring Outlander even closer to the luxury class, with the addition of sound deadening material in significant areas bringing about a reduction of more than 0.5dB in road noise and nearly 6dB in overall sound isolation compared to the 2024 model. Redesigned placement and sizing of the cupholders, a more functional area for wireless mobile phone charging, and a larger armrest/center console area with more storage also raise Outlander's game. Underneath, Outlander sees a recalibrated power steering system delivering more precise steering feel, while recalibrated springs, shock absorbers and stabilizer bars bring greater assurance in driving confidence. The emphasis for this updated vehicle is on refinement, on details, and on enhancing the driver's and passengers' experience. Outlander has consistently broken U.S. sales records since the launch of the revised model in 2021, including a best-ever annual sales performance in the U.S. in 20243. Value is a Mitsubishi Motors hallmark, especially when considering the amount of equipment offered as standard on every 2025 Outlander: three rows of seating for up to seven passengers, full LED lighting inside and out, frameless auto-dimming mirror, 12.3" navigation screen with HD Traffic Information, Yamaha® audio with wireless Apple® CarPlay and Android AutoTM 5, USB-C power ports, multi-zone automatic climate control, and a full suite of driver-alert and safety features.
